Why Choose Laughing Bird Consulting?

We pride ourselves on being a leader and not a Manager. What is the difference? A Manager directs, delegates and takes more of a hands-off approach, whereas a Leader motivates and inspires.

Our services are very much a hands-on Project and Programme Management style with our main focus on the end goal of delivery or implementation. We work closely with teams to build up strong relationships, keeps team members focused on their tasks and addressed problems or concerns as soon as they arise.

We recognise that Project teams are by their nature temporary, containing individuals who may not have worked together before. Delivering work with a leader who is a people person ensures the Project or Programme is delivered to time, cost and quality and also by a motivated and engergised team.

projects, change-management, lessons-learned

For Project Managers and anyone involved in delivering change to an organisation learning lessons is an important part of your job. Ensuring lessons are logged and shared helps businesses evolve by avoiding the same pitfalls and also repeating activities that went well.

I have always been extremely passionate about lessons learned and if done well, consistently and the organisation has a good process, can really help companies mature. Unfortunately all too often i have seen many projects avoid producing lessons learned and It is a sad fact that some organisations just don't value the benefit lessons learned can bring.
